Proceeding contribution from Baroness Butler-Sloss (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 27 January 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Child Poverty Bill.


Child Poverty Bill

I spend a lot of time suggesting that words can mean something different; I did so several times in our debate on the Equality Bill on Monday. I share the view of the noble Baroness. Speaking perhaps as a lawyer rather than as a Member of the House, I do not see that there is any real difference between the two. I entirely support parenting skills for obvious reasons.
